Poutanen, Poutanen, Poutanen; how quickly you forget. I agree, wax / no wax over the summer on the base is neither here nor there. But you are now out there in the dry, dry, dry west (yes, I am jealous ) where humidity is of no concern. Back here in the east, the humidity over the summer can pit your edges faster than a 7500 sintered. If you want to keep the rust at bay, ( good suggestion Donutz +1 ) you should do something to keep the rust monster at bay. Slap a messy, cover your edges, drip on the floor coat on your board and forget about it till the snow flies again.

Someone once mentioned rubbing some wd-40 along the edge all the way around to prevent rust over the summer.

This sounds like a bad idea... Any petroleum based product will work like a solvent on other petroleum based products... ie it will soften your topsheet if it gets on there, and could wreck your sidewalls and base, depending on what they're made of...

Storage wax? Really? Why? Let it sit for a few months, then when the snow flies, grab it, wax it, ride it. Rinse and repeat as often as you feel necessary. It's not rocket science, it's snowboarding. The only way I'd worry is if you are storing it in a puddle. Of course, if you're doing that, you've got way more problems than worrying about your snowboard.
